Patch #7 (Hot-Fix #11)

🎣 Fishing Rods & Offline Overhaul

A brand-new craftable tool line — 7 tiers from Bronze to Void, forged at the Skiller Workshop.
Equip one in its own slot right beside your pickaxe and axe — run all three tools at once.
Equipped rods speed up every catch, live AND offline, with the bonus shown on the card.
Fully tracked in the Collection Log (new Tools category) and they count toward rebirth completion.

The wandering merchant's stock now scales to your level — no more bronze gear on offer when you're in endgame plate. Still fairly priced and gated.

Time away now credits Achievements, Contracts, Mastery, Main-Story progress, brewing, and arrow fletching — the things live play already did.
Offline kill gold now receives your Prestige (×2) and faction gold boosts.
Switching characters now properly grants offline progress to the character you switch to.

Bank: deposit a bag's entire contents straight into the bank from the bank screen.
Locked items are protected — they can't be moved or sold by accident, and a bank deposit always leaves at least one behind.
Adventure Log chests you buy now drop into your backpack instead of clogging your satchel.
Auto-Eat now warns you when your chosen food is too weak to keep up, instead of quietly burning the stack.
Wording: skill speed bonuses now read "94% Reduced Duration" (clearer than "94% Faster").

Gear Sets: copying a loadout onto another set no longer duplicates or deletes gear.
Rebirth no longer switches Auto-Eat off.
Auto-Eat no longer deletes the food stack in your food slot.
Floating combat damage numbers are visible again (and respect the toggle).
World Boss: the loot box refreshes the moment the fight ends, and the Abyss-Forged Ingot drops as intended.
